I’m scheduled for treatment by Dr. Nagar (Weill-Cornell/NYCPresby), and so far I’ve gotten little info from them (but have requested the info ) I’ll have my family in NY for the week, and my wife is very unsure what to expect. Does anyone have a day to day account of how things went? And post treatment side effects?

not looking for study data, I’ve got that, but more of what the actual experience, process is like..i.e., prep (good idea about this as I have simulation instructions).

How much time each day, immediate side effects (I’ve only heard of fatigue), your short term side effects.

Thanks.

my husband, 53 at the time- had SBRT - really no side effects except fatigue. Make sure you don’t take any supplements that counteract the radiation.
